For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...

A new study challenges what's long been assumed about genetic variants thought to always cause inherited blindness.

The first infant to undergo gene-editing therapy has accomplished another first — his first steps. KJ Muldoon is walking and ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

Genetic research is rapidly overturning the idea that each psychiatric diagnosis is a separate island. Large DNA studies now ...

The Cybertruck, sycophantic AI, and humanoid robots all made this year’s list of the biggest technology failures.

In a groundbreaking study, researchers from the Centre for Precision Psychiatry at the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital have discovered extensive genetic links between neurological ...

Despite advances, whole genome sequencing — and with it the promise of early, life-altering therapies — still isn’t a routine part of care for most newborns. Many babies enter the world with silent ...

New research helps explain why disease-associated genetic variants can lead to variable clinical outcomes, influenced both by the patterns of secondary variants, or genetic background, and by how ...

The development of many psychiatric disorders, including depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, is known to be in great part influenced by genetics. Past research has identified various genes ...
